I don't think we should say #Trump wants to be a "king."
Modern kings often exist as the (sometimes symbolic) leaders of social democracies.
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, the UK, et al. have monarchs.
Trump wants to be dictator -- an authoritarian despot who turns the US into a powerful, heavily armed, fascist ethnostate.
Stop calling what he wants as being a "king." Trump wants far more than that.
